The Gentleman
George Clooney, actor.
Fifteen films, no Oscars yet, but he was People's Sexiest Man Alive in 1997.
It's all going terribly well for Clooney, wise choices: David O. Russell's
under seen but brilliant Three Kings, Steven Soderbergh's under seen but brilliant Out of Sight, and, upcoming, Wolfgang Petersen's The Perfect
Storm and the Coen brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Clooney, with his forehead creases and whiskeyish voice, exudes a refreshing mid-century-style manliness. How delightful, then, to learn that he'll
next take on the Sinatra role in Soderbergh's remake of Ocean's Eleven - that rare remake virtually guaranteed to be better than the original.
